Sulphonylaminocarbonyltriazolinones

ABSTRACT

The invention relates to new sulphonylaminocarbonyltriazolinones of the formula (I) ##STR1## in which Q represents oxygen, sulphur or one of the following groups ##STR2##  (in which the radicals R 1 , R 2 , R 3  and R 4  have the meanings given in the description), 
     as well as to salts of compounds of the formula (I), to processes and novel intermediates for the preparation of the novel compounds, and to their use as herbicides.

The invention relates to new sulphonylaminocarbonyltriazolinones, to a plurality of processes and novel intermediates for their preparation, and to their use as herbicides.

It has already been disclosed that certain sulphonylaminocarbonyltriazolinones, such as, forexample,4,5-dimethyl-2-(2-chlorophenylsulphonyl-aminocarbonyl)-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-one, have herbicidal properties (cf. EP-A 341489/LeA 26062; cf. also EP-A 422469/LeA 27154; EP-A 425948/LeA 27155; EP-A 431291/LeA 27156). However, the activity of these compounds is not in all respects satisfactory.

There have now been found the new sulphonylaminocarbonyltriazolinones of the general formula (I) ##STR3## in which Q represents oxygen, sulphur or one of the following groups ##STR4## R¹ represents hydrogen, hydroxyl, amino, alkylideneamino, or represents a radical from the series consisting of alkyl, alkenyl, alkinyl, cycloalkyl, aralkyl, aryl, alkoxy, alkenyloxy, alkylamino, cycloalkylamino, dialkylamino, alkanoylamino and alkoxycarbonylamino, each of which is optionally substituted,

R² represents hydrogen, hydroxyl, mercapto, amino, halogen, or represents a radical from the series consisting of alkyl, cycloalkyl, alkenyl, cycloalkenyl, aralkyl, aryl, alkoxy, alkenyloxy, alkinyloxy, cycloalkyloxy, aryloxy, aralkyloxy, alkylthio, alkylsulphinyl, alkylsulphonyl, alkenylthio, alkinylthio, cycloalkylthio, arylthio, aralkylthio, alkylamino, alkenylamino, arylamino, aralkylamino, dialkylamino, aziridino, pyrrolidino, piperidino or morpholino, each of which is optionally substituted,

R³ represents a radical from the series consisting of alkyl, alkenyl, alkinyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkylalkyl, alkylsulphonyl, alkylaminosulphonyl, dialkylaminosulphonyl, aryl and aralkyl, each of which is optionally substituted,

R⁴ represents hydrogen, hydroxyl, amino, cyano, alkoxycarbonyl, or represents alkyl, alkenyl, alkinyl, alkoxy, alkenyloxy, aralkoxy, aryloxy or dialkoxy(thio)phosphoryl, each of which is optionally substituted, or the following group Q¹ --R⁵, in which

Q¹ represents --CO-- or --SO₂ -- and

R⁵ represents alkyl, cycloalkyl or aryl, each of which is optionally substituted,

and salts of compounds of the formula (I).

The new sulphonylaminocarbonyltriazolinones of the formula (I) are obtained when

(a) chlorosulphonylaminocarbonyltriazolinones of the general formula (II) ##STR5## in which R¹ and R² have the abovementioned meaning, are reacted with nucleophilic compounds of the general formula (III)

    R.sup.3 --Q--H                                             (III)

in which

Q and R³ have the abovementioned meaning, if appropriate in the presence of an acid acceptor and if appropriate in the presence of a diluent, or when

(b) triazolinones of the general formula (IV) ##STR6## in which R¹ and R² have the abovementioned meaning, are reacted with chlorosulphonyl isocyanate, if appropriate in the presence of a diluent, and the resulting chlorosulphonylaminocarbonyltriazolinones of the formula (II)--above--are reacted, without intermediate isolation, with nucleophilic compounds of the general formula (III)--above--if appropriate in the presence of an acid acceptor and if appropriate in the presence of a diluent,

and, if appropriate, the compounds of the formula (I) obtained by process (a) or (b) are convened to salts by customary methods.

Other methods which are possible for the preparation of the compounds of the formula (I) according to the invention are given below, Q, R¹, R² and R³ in each case having the abovementioned meaning:

(c) Reaction of isocyanates of the formula (V) with triazolinones of the formula (IV): ##STR7## (d) Reaction of aminosulphonyl compounds of the formula (VI) with oxycarbonyltriazolinones of the formula (VII) (R: alkyl, aralkyl, aryl): ##STR8## (e) Reaction of sulphonylurethanes of the formula (VIII) with triazolinones of the formula (IV) (R: alkyl, aralkyl, aryl): ##STR9##

The new sulphonylaminocarbonyltriazolinones of the general formula (I) are distinguished by a powerful herbicidal activity.

Surprisingly, the new compounds of the formula (I) display a considerably more powerful herbicidal activity than 4,5-dimethyl-2-(2-chlorophenylsulphonyl-aminocarbonyl)-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-one, which is known and which has a similar structure.

In formula (IV) R¹ and R² preferably, or in particular, have those meanings which have already been mentioned above in connection with the description of the compounds of the formula (I) according to the invention as being preferred, or particularly preferred, for R¹ and R².

The starting substances of the formula (IV) are known and/or can be prepared by processes known per se (cf. EP-A 283876, EP-A 294666, EP-A 301946, EP-A 298371, EP-A 341489, EP-A 399294, EP-A 398096, EP-A 422469, EP-A 425948, EP-A 431291, EP-A 477646, DE-OS 4110795 (German Published Specification).

Processes (a) and (b) according to the invention for the preparation of the new compounds of the formula (I) are preferably carried out using diluents. Suitable diluents are virtually all inert organic solvents. These preferably include aliphatic and aromatic, optionally halogenated hydrocarbons such as pentane, hexane, heptane, cyclohexane, petroleum ether, benzine, ligroin, benzene, toluene, xylene, methylene chloride, ethylene chloride, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, chlorobenzene and o-dichlorobenzene, ethers such as diethyl ether, dibutyl ether, glycol dimethyl ether, diglycol dimethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran and dioxane, ketones such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isopropyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, esters such as methyl acetate and ethyl acetate, nitriles such as, for example, acetonitrile and propionitrile, amides such as, for example, dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide and N-methylpyrrolidone, and also dimethyl sulphoxide, tetramethylene sulphone and hexamethylphosphoric triamide.

Acid acceptors which can be employed in processes (a) and (b) according to the invention are all acid-binding agents which can conventionally be used for reactions of this type. The following are preferably suitable: alkali metal hydroxides such as, for example, sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide, alkaline earth metal hydroxides such as, for example, calcium hydroxide, alkali metal carbonates and alkali metal alcoholates such as sodium carbonate and potassium carbonate, sodium tert-butylate and potassium tert-butylate, furthermore basic nitrogen compounds such as Trimethylamine, Triethylamine, Tripropylamine, Tributylamine, Diisobutylamine, Dicyclohexylamine, Ethyldiisopropylamine, Ethyldicyclohexylamine, N,N-Dimethylbenzylamine, N,N-Dimethyl-aniline, Pyridine, 2-Methyl-, 3-Methyl-, 4-Methyl-, 2,4-Dimethyl-, 2,6-Dimethyl-, 2-Ethyl-, 4-Ethyl- and 5-Ethyl-2-methyl-pyridine, 1,5-Diazabicyclo-[4,3,0]-non-5-en (DBN), 1,8-Diazabicyclo-[5,4,0]-undec-7-en (DBU) and 1,4-Diazabicyclo-[2,2,2]-octane (DABCO).

When carrying out processes (a) and (b) according to the invention, the reaction temperatures can be varied within a substantial range. In general, the processes are carried out at temperatures between -20° C. and +80° C., preferably at temperatures between -10° C. and +50° C.

Processes (a) and (b) according to the invention are generally carried out under atmospheric pressure. However, it is also possible to carry out the processes under elevated or reduced pressure.

To carry out processes (a) and (b) according to the invention, the starting substances required in each case are generally employed in approximately equimolar amounts. However, one of the components employed in each case may also be used in a larger excess. In general, the reactions are carried out in a suitable diluent in the presence of an acid acceptor, and the reaction mixture is stirred for several hours at the temperature required in each case. Working-up in processes (a) and (b) according to the invention is carried out in each case by customary methods (cf. the preparation examples).

If appropriate, salts may be prepared from the compounds of the general formula (I) according to the invention. Such salts are obtained in a simple fashion by customary salt formation methods, for example by dissolving or dispersing a compound of the formula (I) in a suitable solvent such as, for example, methylene chloride, acetone, tertbutyl methyl ether or toluene, and adding a suitable base. The salts can then be isolated by concentration or filtration with suction, if appropriate after prolonged stirring.

The active compounds according to the invention can be used as defoliants, desiccants, agents for destroying broad-leaved plants and, especially, as weed-killers. By weeds, in the broadest sense, there are to be understood all plants which grow in locations where they are undesired. Whether the substances according to the invention act as total or selective herbicides depends essentially on the amount used.

The active compounds according to the invention can be used, for example, in connection with the following plants:

Dicotyledon weeds of the genera: Sinapis, Lepidium, Galium, Stellaria, Matricaria, Anthemis, Galinsoga, Chenopodium, Urtica, Senecio, Amaranthus, Portulaca, Xanthium, Convolvulus, Ipomoea, Polygonum, Sesbania, Ambrosia, Cirsium, Carduus, Sonchus, Solanum, Rorippa, Rotala, Lindernia, Lamium, Veronica, Abutilon, Emex, Datura, Viola, Galeopsis, Papaver, Centaurea, Trifolium, Ranunculus and Taraxacum.

Dicotyledon cultures of the genera: Gossypium, Glycine, Beta, Daucus, Phaseolus, Pisum, Solanum, Linum, Ipomoea, Vicia, Nicotiana, Lycopersicon, Arachis, Brassica, Lactuca, Cucumis and Cucurbita.

Monocotyledon weeds of the genera: Echinochloa, Setaria, Panicum, Digitaria, Phleum, Poa, Festuca, Eleusine, Brachiaria, Lolium, Bromus, Avena, Cyperus, Sorghum, Agropyron, Cynodon, Monochoria, Fimbristylis, Sagittaria, Eleocharis, Scirpus, Paspalum, Ischaemum, Sphenoclea, Dactyloctenium, Agrostis, Alopecurus and Apera.

Monocotyledon cultures of the genera: Oryza, Zea, Triticum, Hordeum, Avena, Secale, Sorghum, Panicum, Saccharum, Ananas, Asparagus and Allium.

However, the use of the active compounds according to the invention is in no way restricted to these genera, but also extends in the same manner to other plants.

The compounds are suitable, depending on the concentration, for the total combating of weeds, for example on industrial terrain and rail tracks, and on paths and squares with or without tree plantings. Equally, the compounds can be employed for combating weeds in perennial cultures, for example afforestations, decorative tree plantings, orchards, vineyards, citrus groves, nut orchards, banana plantations, coffee plantations, tea plantations, rubber plantations, oil palm plantations, cocoa plantations, soft fruit plantings and hopfields, in lawns, turf and pasture-land, and for the selective combating of weeds in annual cultures.

The compounds of the formula (I) according to the invention are particularly suitable for selectively combating dicotyledon weeds in monocotyledon cultures by the pre- as well as post-emergence methods.

Moreover, the active compounds (I) according to the invention also display interesting secondary actions, i.e. a leaf-acting insecticidal action, as well as fungicidal actions in particular against Pyricularia oryzae, for example in rice, and against Erysiphe graminis.

The active compounds can be converted into the customary formulations, such as solutions, emulsions, wettable powders, suspensions, powders, dusting agents, pastes, soluble powders, granules, suspension-emulsion concentrates, natural and synthetic materials impregnated with active compound, and very fine capsules in polymeric substances.

These formulations are produced in a known manner, for example by mixing the active compounds with extenders, that is liquid solvents and/or solid carriers, optionally with the use of surface-active agents, that is emulsifying agents and/or dispersing agents and/or foam-forming agents.

In the case of the use of water as an extender, organic solvents can, for example, also be used as auxiliary solvents. As liquid solvents, there are suitable in the main: aromatics, such as xylene, toluene or alkylnaphthalenes, chlorinated aromatics and chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons, such as chlorobenzenes, chloroethylenes or methylene chloride, aliphatic hydrocarbons, such as cyclohexane or paraffins, for example petroleum fractions, mineral and vegetable oils, alcohols, such as butanol or glycol as well as their ethers and esters, ketones, such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone or cyclohexanone, strongly polar solvents, such as dimethylformamide and dimethyl sulphoxide, as well as water.

As solid carriers there are suitable:

for example ammonium salts and ground natural minerals, such as kaolins, clays, talc, chalk, quartz, attapulgite, montmorillonite or diatomaceous earth, and ground synthetic minerals, such as highly disperse silica, alumina and silicates, as solid carriers for granules there are suitable: for example crushed and fractionated natural rocks such as calcite, marble, pumice, sepiolite and dolomite, as well as synthetic granules of inorganic and organic meals, and granules of organic material such as sawdust, coconut shells, maize cobs and tobacco stalks; as emulsifying and/or foam-forming agents there are suitable: for example non-ionic and anionic emulsifiers, such as polyoxyethylene fatty acid esters, polyoxyethylene fatty alcohol ethers, for example alkylaryl polyglycol ethers, alkylsulphonates, alkyl sulphates, arylsulphonates as well as albumen hydrolysis products; as dispersing agents there are suitable: for example lignin-sulphite waste liquors and methylcellulose.

Adhesives such as carboxymethylcellulose and natural and synthetic polymers in the form of powders, granules or latexes, such as gum arabic, polyvinyl alcohol and polyvinyl acetate, as well as natural phospholipids, such as cephalins and lecithins, and synthetic phospholipids, can be used in the formulations. Further additives can be mineral and vegetable oils.

It is possible to use colorants such as inorganic pigments, for example iron oxide, titanium oxide and Prussian Blue, and organic dyestuffs, such as alizarin dyestuffs, azo dyestuffs and metal phthalocyanine dyestuffs, and trace nutrients such as salts of iron, manganese, boron, copper, cobalt, molybdenum and zinc.

The formulations in general contain between 0.1 and 95 per cent by weight of active compound, preferably between 0.5 and 90%.

For combating weeds, the active compounds according to the invention, as such or in the form of their formulations, can also be used as mixtures with known herbicides, finished formulations or tank mixes being possible.

A mixture with other known active compounds, such as fungicides, insecticides, acaricides, nematicides, bird repellants, plant nutrients and agents which improve soil structure, is also possible.

The active compounds can be used as such, in the form of their formulations or in the use forms prepared therefrom by further dilution, such as ready-to-use solutions, suspensions, emulsions, powders, pastes and granules. They are used in the customary manner, for example by watering, spraying, atomizing or scattering.

The active compounds according to the invention can be applied either before or after emergence of the plants. They can also be incorporated into the soil before sowing.

The amount of active compound used can vary within a substantial range. It depends essentially on the nature of the desired effect. In general, the amounts used are between 10 g and 10 kg of active compound per hectare of soil surface, preferably between 50 g and 5 kg per ha.

The preparation and use of the active compounds according to the invention can be seen from the following examples.

Preparation Examples:

EXAMPLE 1 ##STR49## (Process (a))

2.84 g (0.01 mol) of 2-chlorosulphonylaminocarbonyl-4-methyl-5-ethoxy-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-one are introduced into 100 ml of methylene chloride, and 1.24 g (0.01 mol) of 2-methoxy-phenol and 2.02 g (0.02 mol) of triethylamine are added to this mixture at 20° C. The reaction mixture is stirred for 60 minutes at 20° C. It is then washed three times using 150 ml of water in each case, dried using sodium sulphate and filtered. The filtrate is concentrated under a water pump vacuum, and the residue is recrystallized from isopropanol.

2.5 g (53% of theory) of the triethylammonium salt of 2-(2-methoxy-phenoxy)sulphonylaminocarbonyl-4-methyl-5-ethoxy-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-one of melting point 107° C. are obtained.

EXAMPLE 2 ##STR50## (Process (a))

5.69 g (0.02 mol) of 2-chlorosulphonylaminocarbonyl-4-methyl-5-ethoxy-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-one are introduced into 150 ml of methylene chloride, and a solution of 6.6 g (0.04 mol) of ethyl 2-amino-benzoate in 20 ml of methylene chloride is added to this mixture at 20° C. The reaction mixture is stirred for 60 minutes at 20° C. It is then washed three times using 150 ml of water in each case, dried using sodium sulphate and filtered. The filtrate is concentrated under a water pump vacuum and the residue is recrystallized from isopropanol.

5.7 g (69% of theory) of 2-(2-ethoxy-carbonyl-phenylamino)-sulphonylaminocarbonyl-4-methyl-5-ethoxy-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-one of melting point 135° C. are obtained.

Example A

Pre-emergence test

Solvent: 5 parts by weight of acetone

Emulsifier: 1 part by weight of alkylaryl polyglycol ether

To produce a suitable preparation of active compound, 1 part by weight of active compound is mixed with the stated amount of solvent, the stated amount of emulsifier is added and the concentrate is diluted with water to the desired concentration.

Seeds of the test plants are sown in normal soil and, after 24 hours, watered with the preparation of the active compound. It is expedient to keep constant the amount of water per unit area. The concentration of the active compound in the preparation is of no importance, only the amount of active compound applied per unit area being decisive. After three weeks, the degree of damage to the plants is rated in % damage in comparison to the development of the untreated control. The figures denote:

0%=no action (like untreated control)

Example B

Post-emergence test

Solvent: 5 parts by weight of acetone

Emulsifier: 1 part by weight of alkylaryl polyglycol ether

To produce a suitable preparation of active compound, 1 part by weight of active compound is mixed with the stated amount of solvent, the stated amount of emulsifier is added and the concentrate is diluted with water to the desired concentration.

Test plants which have a height of 5-15 cm are sprayed with the preparation of the active compound in such a way as to apply the particular amounts of active compound desired per unit area. The concentration of the spray liquor is so chosen that the particular amounts of active compound desired are applied in 2,000 1 of water/ha. After three weeks, the degree of damage to the plants is rated in % damage in comparison to the development of the untreated control. The figures denote:

0%=no action (like untreated control)
